Progresses in Synthesis of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) was synthesized by unsaturated monomers of carboxylic acid, alkane macromonomers of long chains, and others. It was an excellent cement dispersant which would make great performance in concrete [ 1 ].
Polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer with gradient
In this paper, gradient and block polycarboxylate ether superplasticizers (PCEs) composed of allyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether macromonomer and acrylic acid were synthesized via aqueous reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The molecular structure of PCEs was characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR
Synthesis of polycarboxylic ether superplasticizers based on
Generally, polycarboxylic ether superplasticizer (PCEs) have excellent properties of high water reduction and high slump retention capacity, and they are widely used in engineering [1], [2], [3], [4]. In the synthesis of PCEs, the types of macromonomers are extremely important.
Low-cost synthesis of high-performance polycarboxylic ether
As a new type of high-performance water-reducing agent, polycarboxylate ether (PCE) has excellent properties such as small dosage and high water reduction rate. However, it is still necessary to develop a synthetic process to improve the performance of PCE at a low cost.
- What is a polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer?
- The polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer is an additive commonly used in concrete engineering and has a wide range of applications. The PCE based admixture can significantly reduce the amount of cement and improve the fluidity and pumpability of concrete while ensuring the strength and durability of concrete.
- Do Polycarboxylate ether/ester superplasticizers affect concrete performance?
- Polycarboxylate ether/ester (PCE) superplasticizers are widely used due to their molecular structural designability, low dosage and high efficiency. However, their high sensitivity and strong interactions with clays in concrete reduce their dispersion and water-reduction capability, which can affect the performance of concrete seriously.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- As one important auxiliary, superplasticizers have attracted lots of attention in the concrete and building materials field. Specially, polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) has been widely applied due to its relatively low doping amount, high water reducing rate and environmental friendliness property.
- What are the advantages of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer?
- Low dosage and high water reduction rate. The water reduction rate of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer can be as high as 45%, which can be used to prepare high-strength and high-performance concrete. Small loss when slump is light.
- What is a comblike polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- Comblike polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCs) have been widely used as construction and building materials by means of high fluidity and fine dispersibility via electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance.
- How to store PCE polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- The PCE polycarboxylate superplasticizer should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and rain. At the same time, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources to prevent fire or explosion accidents. Water seepage problem.
